THIRTY farms are opening their doors to the public later this month, On Sunday, June 10, 30 North West farms are supporting Open Farm Sunday by inviting people to come into the countryside and find out how farming works.
Open Farm Sunday is a national initiative organised by Linking Environment And Farming (LEAF) and supported by the National Farmers' Union.
NFU North West's Public Relations Officer, Carl Hudspith, said: "Farming touches almost every aspect of our lives in such everyday ways we don't always think about.
"Farming affects us all in a fundamental way. It contributes to the wealth of the North West, is a major employer, it produces much of our food, it shapes our environment and contributes to our health and well being."
Farms in this area taking part in the scheme are Little Town Farm, Chipping Road, Longridge; Windy Pike, Carters Lane, Gisburn and Silvesters Farm, Washington Lane, Euxton.
